The Wellington Architectural Review Board convened on June 25, 2025, to discuss various site amenities for local projects, focusing on the Lotus developments. The meeting began with a discussion on the choice of materials for playground surfaces, specifically whether to use spongy rubber or mulch. Board members noted that mulch is softer and easier to maintain, referencing its successful implementation in Delray's parks.

Following this discussion, the board moved to address the first petition, ARB 357, concerning site amenities for the Lotus I project. A motion was made to approve the petition as presented, which passed unanimously without objections.

The meeting then transitioned to the second petition, ARB 358, for the Lotus II project. Damien Newell from the Planning and Zoning Division introduced the petition, highlighting that this project, located just north of Lotus I on the west side of State Road 7, encompasses approximately 52 acres and is also a mixed-use development. The board acknowledged that the site currently lacks any approved amenities and is seeking approval for new additions.

The meeting concluded with a clear progression through the agenda, with both petitions receiving favorable consideration from the board. The discussions underscored the board's commitment to enhancing community spaces through thoughtful planning and material selection.
